Issi, that reminds me a bit of my two shop colleagues - they stand there delightedly enthousing about a contemporary painting or an art object, and I just look at it in a bemused fashion...... It doesn't do me a thing!!! I have discovered across the years, that sometimes artists and writers, all creative people in fact, can try too hard to shine out with their difference, their obscurity, and in their quest they in fact loose the "plot". Ever heard art critics waffling on in front of an especially modern painting?? I have, and have had to walk away sniggering...... "XYZ's sorrow and pain are combined within that black brush stroke in the corner.....!" "My learned friend, XYZ has overcome his sorrow and pain, look at hte jubilance of the orange and yellow cascade of joy..." Believe me, many of them haven't a clue what they are seeing but waffle on importanty nonetheless..... Some artists milk it for what it is worth...... Same with writers of course!!
